EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating engraving that takes us back to the 19th century. This intricate artwork, created by an English School artist, offers a glimpse into the world of scientific exploration and discovery during this era. The print showcases various scenes from expeditions undertaken by command of foreign governments. It depicts a tartar cart traversing rugged terrains, symbolizing the challenges faced by explorers as they ventured into uncharted territories. The topography is meticulously illustrated, highlighting mountains like Ararat and significant landmarks such as the Monastery of Echmiadzin. Amidst this rich tapestry of landscapes are glimpses into different cultures and religions. Hinduism is represented through depictions of Vishnu, Siva, and Brahma - important deities in Indian mythology. The presence of Indians further emphasizes India's influence on these narratives. This engraving not only captures moments from scientific expeditions but also serves as a window into the diverse world that was being explored at that time. It invites viewers to reflect on humanity's insatiable curiosity for knowledge and our relentless pursuit to unravel the mysteries hidden within our planet. With its attention to detail and historical significance, "The World surveyed in the XIXth Century" stands as both a work of art and an invaluable record of past explorations that have shaped our understanding of the world we inhabit today.
